Big enough for two...

Playlist

Up at six and feeling like shit...

The weather outside was fine but I would not be venturing out...

Sister Pam's 63rd birthday...

Never gets easier - 15 years gone this December...

It has flown by...

And continues to do so - almost half way through 2026 already...

Changed the LP display - did not play them though...

My first post of the day, following Facebook and family tribute to Pam...

"If you only listen to one LP today, make it this 16 song one (another 98 tracks available on download but it's name your price, so, you could get it all for £0)... 

Started in December 2012, finally released August 2021"

"Sparklemusik"

Me? I was listening to more new good stuff downloaded today - I just can't stop (see below)...

Also...

Found an old post from years ago, made while playing Toyah & Fripp's "The Lady or the Tiger" LP in 2020, saying "if only I could remove Toyah" to hear Fripp's work unaccompanied...  

So, this is how I was also wasting my time this morning...

Done, dusted...

Also, this chart was posted up...

The top selling LPs of 1977...

I have 48 of the 100...

I noted the highest ranking "Prog" acts 49 years ago...

11 Pink Floyd

16 Yes

42 Peter Gabriel

43 ELP

47 Genesis

49 Mike Oldfield

53 Supertramp

90 Jethro Tull

I hesitated over Gabriel. All of these acts remained popular in 1977 (some, until this very day even), proving that punk did not, as received wisdom might dictate, destroy prog...

Indeed, I recall I bought "Going for the One"/"Never Mind the Bollocks" almost on the same day...

Only idiots actioned a year zero policy...

Updated my "chart albums I'd buy if I had unlimited cash" from February to now, taking my running total for the year to a measly 21...

To be honest, I'm not sure I would actually buy all these were I to have won the lottery...

Nice to see Kraftwerk's mid 70's classic, finally making the UK album chart this year...

This evening, a swift drive to the Bayleaf for a Lamb Bhuna, rice and a naan...

Their curries are so large, they fed the household...

Fang popped by for something he likes...

Later, Brazil v Morocco...

We watched the first half, then, headed to bed with the score at 1-1...

We did not stay up till 4am watching Scotland V Haiti...

Rather, we recorded it and will watch it tomorrow morning before accessing anything online...

Highlight of the Day: Curry...
